boggin the truck looks great! What type of undercoat did you put on the frame? Was it rattle can or spray gun? How thick was the undercoat?

Good looking bumper, great job! Looks very professional. How did you construct it? Metal thickness? Got pics of the bumper while you were building it?

And nice truck too!

normally i am not a big fan of winch bumpers, but yours is very nice, looks very professional, i mean i have seen pro built winch bumpers online before, and yours looks way better, no offense to anyone else, but i just like the look of this bumper, i am sure many people on here would love the dimesnions and the materials used,

thanks everyone. i did a few coats ofregular spray can undercoating on the frame. i helped my buddy build the bumper but i didnt weld it. i have no pics of it when it was built but ill take some more of it how its mounted. its all pretty thick metal but i thinks the winch still weighs more.
